  • Publication number: 20090072941
    Abstract: A bobbin has a primary surface member contacted to an inner periphery of a cylindrical yoke and a secondary surface member which faces the primary surface member. The primary and secondary surface members form an accommodating space part into which a form coil is accommodated. One or more inserting holes are formed in the primary and secondary surface members. The inserting holes correspond to boss parts of a pole core which correspond to coil parts of the form coil. A plurality of nail parts is formed around each inserting hole. An inserting hole is formed in the secondary surface member. When assembling the boss parts of the pole core into the bobbin, the plural nail parts are bent toward the inner direction of the inserting hole, and finally placed between the boss parts and the inner periphery of the coil parts of the form coil.

  • Publication number: 20090045897
    Abstract: The transformer has a bobbin, a coil assembly and a magnetic core assembly. The bobbin is mounted in the magnetic core assembly and has multiple connecting pins being formed on at least one side of a bottom surface of the bobbin. Each connecting pin has a top surface as a soldering surface that corresponds to a solder pad on a back of a circuit board. At least one fastener is further formed on the bottom surface of the circuit board. Therefore, when the transformer is mounted through the circuit board, the connecting pins are soldered on the back of the circuit board to reduce the total thickness of the combination of the transformer and the circuit board.

  • Patent number: 7446637
    Abstract: A parent-child leadframe type transformer includes a ferrite core module, a child leadframe and a parent leadframe. The parent leadframe has a first opening and a second opening on both ends. The length of the second opening is greater than the length of the first opening along the same axial direction. A containing space is defined between the first and second openings. The child leadframe has a coil winding slot and a through hole for installing the ferrite core module. The axial length of the child leadframe falls between the first and second openings, such that the child leadframe and the ferrite core module can be passed through the second opening, but limited by the first opening. The child leadframe, ferrite core module and parent leadframe are positioned to define a parent-child type transformer structure for reducing the overall height and complying with the safety regulation standards.

  • Publication number: 20080246575
    Abstract: The present invention relates in general to the field of interface technology. Electronic components, such as modular converters for measurement control and regulation technology, in particular isolation amplifiers, are known from interface technology. Such isolation amplifiers can be used for galvanic separation, conversion, amplification and filtering of standard, normal signals and for matching analog signals. These isolation amplifiers are galvanically separated from one another in the input, output and supply circuits. According to the invention, a separate component of a transformer is integrated for separation into a circuit board of an isolation amplifier with the aid of SMD mounting technology, wherein the transformer contains a combination of inductive components, consisting of a magnetic core and a winding, and a substrate which contains internal printed conductors that form planar short-circuit windings.

  • Publication number: 20080197956
    Abstract: A coil unit includes a planar coil, a magnetic member that is provided under the planar coil, a magnetic flux leakage prevention member that is provided under the magnetic member, and a heat sink that is provided under the magnetic flux leakage prevention member. The magnetic flux leakage prevention member is electrically insulated from the heat sink. The magnetic flux leakage prevention member is insulated from the heat sink using a double-sided adhesive tape, for example. Since the heat sink dissipates heat generated from the planar coil and is electrically insulated from the magnetic flux leakage prevention member, the heat sink does not function as a member which receives a magnetic flux.
